And the report of the committee that
will be made this morning to Mayor
Tuck will furnish food for gossip for
some time to come.
It will reoommend the dismissal of
officer Pope Davis from the foroe, the
censures of officers W. D. Kelly and J
E. Hayes, and the censure of Chief H.
Cobb Davis.
“Cottonville, sir,is holding her own,”
said the landlord of the hotel where I
had engaged board. “Yes, sir, there is
no doubt about that—she holds her
own.”
“What is the population?” tasked.
“Six hundred and sixty-six by last
year’s census,” was the reply.
“And how many by the former cen
sus?”
“Just the same, sir—as 1 said before,
Cottonville is holding her own.”
“But it does not look like progress,”

THE COMMKNiEMENT.
Tho Programme of the Lucy Cobb Is
Interesting.
Over two hundred pupils have been
enrolled at the I.uoy Cobb this year
Out of this number eighty have bean
boarding pupils. This Urge number of
girls, including representatives from
almost every section of country,
cesearily implies elaborate commence
ment programmes.
The exercises will begin Friday even
ing June 9th, with Miss 1‘aulin’s drill-
in artistic gymnaaties. There will be
five separate drills given by the various
classes and will be as follows: The oar
drill, in yachting suits; the rose drill;
the empire drill; the milk maid drill;
the dear old ladies’ pantomime; and
the Famine from Hiawatha, presente)
in pantomimic work and tableaux vi
vants. This entertainment has always
been one of the attractive features of
Lucy Cobb and has drawn crowded
houses.
On Saturday evening there will be a
French play, “La Derniore Lecon
Avant Les Vacances,” written for the
sen hers.
“Yes, I know,” he responded, “we

He was a rosy-faced old gentleman
with a genial smile playing around the
corneis of his mouth and a good
humored twinkle in his blue eyes.
When he caught my inquiring glance
he introduced himself and told me that
1 had done the right thing in deciding
to locate in Cottonville.
“It is the garden spot of the earth,
said Colonel Biggers, for that was his
name, “and if you will simply assert

1 Tnia was rather mysterious and as
showed a desire for further information
the colonel carried me to his office
he was made the victim of a most hor
rible joke. Officer Davis denies this
most vigorously, and Mr. Lowe himself
says Davis was honest and square in
going to the place.
Officers Kelly and Hayes come under

that they
Liwe’s importunities for them to
come over and help Davis and himself
out of the fuss. They said they told
him they would go over if Pope Davis
needed them.
Chief Davis is to come in for his
share of censure because he told Lowe
he didn’t care to bear any account ot
the difficulty as coming from him.
As I became better acquainted 1 found
that two factions existed in the town
and county. They were about evenly
matched. The oour.house waa located
on a back street because the Bigger
and BUggera people coaid not agree
about it. The principle of the high
school was changed every year for a
similar reason. The streets were grow
ing up in grqu and weeda because
Biggers wanted one kind of pavement,
while Stiggera wanted another. It waa
impossible to bold a county fair or r
church sociable because each party
tried to control. Young people fell in
love and their matchts were broken off
by their cruel parents because one
family stood by Biggers and the other
favored Stiggera. For ten years no
new houses bad been built, no old one
bad been painted and no fenoe had been
repaired. The citizens were too busy
with the affairs ot Biggers and Stiggers
to look after such matters. The quarrel
was felt even in the collection of
street taxes. A Biggers town marshal
would foroe the Biggers men to pay up
There was the i&me trouble over the
dog law, and the pound became an in
strument of partisan oppression.
When the Jndge held oourt in Cot
tonville it was easy to see that he and
the solicitor were embareag>ed. It was
bard to tell to what extent the Biggers
and Stiggers influence would effect
indictments, jurors and witnesses.
When Biggers or a Biggers man went
to the legislature the Stiggers ticket of
■>unty officers wou'.d be elected and
the next time the Biggers county ticket
would be elected while Stiggers went
to the legislature.
At times I was readv to swear by
Biggers and then 1 would change my
opinions and go over to S iggers. It
was hard to tell which was the better
man.
The feud between the Cottonville
colonels draw everybody into it. If a
lawyer or a doctor aided with Biggers
the Stiggers men would not patronize

I had been in Cottonville a week be

bad avoided me at first, bat having
learned that I was a tolerably clever
fellow he made up his mind to cultivate
me.
StiggerB evidently felt interested in
me. He talked like a man of broad and
liberal vi* ws and his frank, open
countenance impressed me favorably.
In thecourse of our talk we found that
we agreed on many subjects and it wor
ried me to think that Colonel Biggers
was so badly wrong in bis judgment cf
his fellow-townsman.
Colonel Stiggers and the gentlemen
with him delicately intimated that
when I first came to Cottonvilla they
had feared that I was in danger of being
muled by Colonel Biggers and bis
associates.
“Watch that Biggers ring,” said Colo
nel Stiggers, “you will find that they
are opposed to progress, against every
pablio improvement and working for
I for their own selfih interests,”
bolding her own. Biggers is on top
now, but we are going to send Stiggers
